teen mom shoots/kills intruder after 911 says it is OK

[Sylvain]

I'm surprised the media hasn't portrayed her to be a gun toting gangster already

Same.She had two loaded guns and a baby with her, that alone would have been enough for the media to build up an anti gun case.

I was just reading this... Just curious, would she have been in her rights in Indiana?

Of course, her life and the life of her baby were in danger.
That would have been a clean shot in Indiana.

Should be a clean shot anydamnwhere, and shame on anywhere it isn't.

I saw this on GMA this morning. I was shocked that there would be any news story showing self defense in a positive light. Momma did what she had to do.

Very similar to the story from a few years back when 911 told an older woman to use her shotgun when a guy broke through her sliding glass door.

She did what she had to.

Bravo to the mother who protected her infant!!!!! And just MORE proof that we can't depend on LEO's to save our butts, we need to be PREPARED ourselves.

I was just reading this... Just curious, would she have been in her rights in Indiana?

Indiana Constitution, Article I, Section 32:

"The People shall have a right to bear Arms, for the defense of themselves and of the State." Also, we invoke Castle doctrine. No duty to retreat. Includes home, car, possessions, and curtilage.

WTF? Preying on a woman who's husband just died of cancer? He deserved much worse.

 

[Brando]

Good work lady! Btw, How old was her husband??

 

[phatgemi]

Keep in mind guys, she was only 18. I think she did a pretty good job. Obviously she knew how to do what she had too, but probably wasn't that experienced. Great ending for the BG.

Glad to see she had the sense to protect her son and herself and the training to know how to use the weapon(s)!!! Kudos to her deceased husband and most likely her father for enabling her to know how to use the weapons effectively.

Sorry to hear about the loss of her husband but imagine a woman like that will find another man.

Agree with earlier poster that said too bad the other POS didn't suffer the same fate.

Obviously she knew how to do what she had too, but probably wasn't that experienced.

I dont think anybody is experienced when it comes to shooting at another human being, even if you are an experienced shooter and shot at hundreds of paper target bad guys.
Unless you already did it mutliple times for real of course (police, military, civilians in previous self defense shootings etc).

 

[wallotcorydon]

I found it impressive that she had the presence of mind to give the baby a bottle to keep it from crying. I would have to assume her asking the 911 operator if she could shoot if he entered was a piece of mind for her. Maybe a relief on her conscience for taking a life, she had approval of someone else.

+1 to momma!

well done.

Didn't that take place in Oklahoma also? Hmm, maybe I left too soon!

 

[CtWest]

Good for her! Didn't even make it 5 feet in...But did anyone else notice a drastic age appearance from her and her husband?!

 

[jcharrison05]

I cant believe this guy had the nerve to show up on the day of the funeral then come back to prey on this poor girl! He def got what he deserved! I like the fact that she had not one but two guns ready to rock!
